Storm and convective discussion 7th July Onwards

[drgl]

Ahh, didn't have the smiley until I put this into a quote.....

So, is there info to base this approaching heatwave on somewhere?

                      OR

Is it totally an unfound headline story indicitive of this rag.....??

The latter, it's the DM & frankly they should be shut down. In winter they "report" an ice age.

[Azazel]

Hmmmmm, nobody has mentioned this yet, and I do use the BBC weather forecasts as a basic start point.... 

What do you think, and could it have an associated storm risk???

 

I know it's a newspaper that's rebound for sensationalistic weather front pages, but surely it's got to be based on facts from somewhere???

 

Monday 7th July 2014

 

Honestly, never ever even entertain the idea of reading this POS.

 

If you even see it on display at a newsagents, set it on fire to save others.

As long as you chuck the Daily Express on the fire as well

My cat doesn't like the Daily Express either! Prefers the Guardian! Looks like showers out there! Caught some decent ones yesterday, minus T&L!

[Speedway Slider]

Ooooooh errrrrrrrr!!

Can't believe they are that bad.....

So do they not use any weather service at all?

Or is there a controversial forecasting service out there that provides dodgy forecasts?? You know, using stone scatter and tea leave direction after a 5 minute tea mash to gauge weather????

[Speedway Slider]

Looking at rainfall radar, the showers up Hull way are moving in a northerly direction, however the showers moving into the Midlands are coming from the West?

I think they trawl the internet, find a fact from a reputable source like 'Models suggest that its going to be warm next week' , then create a sensationalist story, twisting the facts which they then sell to the gullible for £££

[Marcus_surfer]

Looks like it's about to throw it down here

[richep]

Few showers firing up towards Swansea. I think their heading my way.

[Stormyking]

Wow there are towers goingt up left right and centre, last 2 days on the IOW, so hopefully today will be a good one!

[richep]

Are those Swansea cells heading for my area or more towards Bristol way. Can't quite make it out

[Mokidugway]

Large cell to my south ,appeared out of nowhere !!...

[jamesbhx]

Brief funnel cloud observed at Shoreham Airport, West Sussex earlier on their METAR...

Just had a beaut of a downpour, with hail mixed in. 4.2mm in 15 minutes, rain rate of 174.6mm/hr :O

The forecast yesterday mentioned nothing about about showers like this..

[Ross Andrew Hemphill]

Something brewing??

[Mokidugway]

Cells all around me ,got to get a rumble or two out of this set up !!.....

[Arnie Pie]

Hearing thunder...possibly from the backbuilding cell to my N

yep... radar confirmed cell over Wolverhampton way

grey and overcast here, nothing much of note:(

[reef]

Lots of cells forming to the west of here, but the onshore breeze is keeping them away from this area yet again.

 

Can hear thunder in the distance now.

[A.J]

a whole rash of heavy showers breaking out over south Wales heading into the west country now....some torrential downpours with the odd sferic detection.....should see some monsoon rain & hail at the least in the next couple of hours

[Panayiotis]

Thunderstorms becoming more frequent now across the UK, so looking like a great day for many! Some distane thunder heard here, the next couple of hours will be interesting!

[Arnie Pie]

 W09...Good to hear from you

Still hearing the odd rumble from the cell... which seems now to be edging itself towards the city

 

Edit; .....and away from the city...no wait... just sitting over Aldridge

Look at this for a cloud structure, looks spectacular and producing deep rumbles of thunder! Intense cells popping up all around but yet none of them have given me a direct hit...
